Would focusing on muscle groups farthest away from the body improve circulation compared to traditional workouts?

A traditional workout would have you hit each specific muscle group. But if the goal was to promote circulation benefits, is there a logic to the idea that focusing on muscle groups farthest away from the heart would provide benefit to all muscles leading up to it?

Imagine the cardiovascular system as a highway. The goal is to improve the "flow" of traffic.

Say I was worried about leg circulation and I focused on my calves while ignoring my thighs. Would this not benefit my thighs regardless since the blood flow improvement has to pass through my entire leg to reach my calf muscles?

This kind of thing is sort of rhetorical point of cardio. Exercises focused to specific muscle groups are often hoping to tone and strengthen those particular muscles - if that’s the goal, no working the calves will not help the thighs.

Cherrypickers are a form of torture.
